The Irwins take us to Steve's place
Chasing crocs in the Cape York wilderness is the perfect getaway for Terri, Bindi and Robert. PHILLIP KOCH joins them on their annual pilgrimage to “Steve’s Place”.
Terri Irwin shares her life and family with the world – but when she, Bindi and Robert head to the bush, it’s back to basics, cooking, eating and washing around a camp fire. That their temporary campsite is perched on the bank of the Wenlock River, which is home to hundreds of crocodiles, only makes it more appealing for this family of wildlife warriors.
This week marks five years since Steve Irwin’s shocking death on September 4, 2006, when he was killed by a giant stingray’s poisonous barb. His wife and children are on their yearly pilgrimage to “Steve’s Place”, 135,000 hectares of untouched wilderness that’s a living memorial to the Crocodile Hunter. “I think of it like paradise,” explains Bindi, who recently celebrated her 13th birthday. “Of course, I miss my dad but I do feel like he’s watching over us. He loved this place so much.”
